No. The myth about LS trans....longer time in boost...has been strung along for the longest time. The B16 trans or the Gsr trans is the best trans for boosted cars. If you can get the power to the ground, you will want to rip through them. You can put an LS 4th and 5th gear in the trans so you dont have to shift was you go through the traps and will also get good rpms/gas mileage on the interstate. Almost every quick civic....almost all the pro racers....all use Gsr or B16a trans.

Yep, 12.4 on a GSR tranny, 12.6 on a LS tranny, samewhat the same 60" foot time (.1-.25 difference), same height slicks, almost same temp and track conditions, reaction time, same driver, etc, etc.
What was different was the MPH only!
